  • So I've been going to Amsterdam for 8 years, and over that time there's a lot of coffeeshops in Amsterdam that I hate. Today I'll be revisiting these coffeeshops in Amsterdam to see if i gave them a fair opinion, or if my opinion has changed.
    What coffeeshops in Amsterdam do you hate that you have to revisit? Let me know in the comments!

      Bruh.. besides saying was definitively just some haze - which is unexplainably noobie to me in any way - I couldn't find the terpene profile of jelly cookies, but comparing the main terpene profile of normal cookies vs super silver haze (which most of the haze is in dam) - you can never tell with a straight face 1 strain is a 100 % this or that because the main terpenes are quite similar and I'm not even considering phenotypes ..

The last time I went to Amsterdam I stayed at a family friends house that was literally a 150 -200 foot walk from the place and I went every day. They had good prices, the bud got me stoned af , they had glass to use if needed and even a volcano vape for public use.

      @@manzanasrojas6984 lmfao yes I know it is 'TeChNIcAlLy' illegal in the Netherlands but that obviously is not the perspective of the people towards the drug or how it is generally perceived in Amsterdam. Thus why a pretty much legal market has not only functioned in Amsterdam for so long but it has been enabled to continue by their government etc. The standard could be far higher without it affecting any aspect of what's legal or illegal. The standard is low because that seems to be what is expected/put up with by the average customer. The laws of supply and demand will always apply. I can't seem to find a better answer than that.

The only 2 shops i visit when i show ppl arround downtown is Tweede Kamer & or Boerejongens. All those other bs cfeshops are tourist places with tourist prizes with tourist quality weed. Im just keepin it real homie. I love to smoke haze. So when i want to smoke i eather go to Warda (east side) or to Atlas (north side). I kno ppl from out of NL really dont kno where to go and things like that... So i recommend Tweede Kamer or Boerejongens for my homies comming true 🙏. Good vid dawg, Njoy your smoke.

    Loved Grey Area like 2007-2013 when I was visiting. Them, Basjoes, 1e Huip and like Tweede Kammer were my favorites. Sure they were a bit more expensive and touristy, but their stuff was great. Not too many other shops had the trendy american strains. Friendly owner. On 4:20 20 april 2011 I think me and a local rolled a joint with 42 g of weed there lol. Pretty sure Cypress Hill were there too. Basjoes was my absolute favorite though to hang out in, or nes cafe. But 1e Huip for their hashish

    Yeah just going to the “tourists” coffeshops, but yeah understand…. Worked there for few years and only went were locals where… still find good bud and cheaper with deals. But yeah not surprising that’s is way it is with laws they have… no wonder Spain is passing the Dutch , they can actually grow there. And wen that is possible the bud is excellent… very few in Holland can say the bud actually is what it says it is… my favourite was the Dampkrin and Amnesia from the “named” ones … a trick I learned while living/working there was “if don’t understand the costumer’s it’s must be good, it’s we’re locals go”…

    What's up bro. I've been to Amsterdam back in 2002. It was for our honeymoon. It was only a few months after 9/11 happened. The people in Amsterdam were ALL so nice. They had sympathy for the US. We went to France later that trip and they were not even close as cool or nice. They said the US had it comin bro! Almost knocked out a dude but kept a cool head in a foreign country. Yo, we stayed at the Hotel Del Europe. It was waaay bf the US went rec/med so it was my first experience buying "bud" with my debit card... I'll never forget the hotel sending someone to the coffee shop for us one morning and brought us up some room service with some old school sticky White Widow, some really dank hash brownies. It was the dopest time. We came in March, not during tourist time. I know your laws have changed. I haven't had the chance to come back but dying too. We didn't want to leave!

    Grey area for me will always be up there as one of the best! Was shocked to see you even put them on your list… made me question your credibility as a weedman 😂the blue lime pie may be Dutch but is leng and burns better than most calis out in dam. It’s hard to get certain cuts/ strains as a grower and they dealt with it proper an honestly labelled it as Dutch weed. and if they were dickheads could have easily tried to palm it off as something else. Also the original kosher kush was always a winner for me in grey

    Tbh with grey area their Dutch flower might be better than you’d expect, I think they’re a shop that’s kind by the Dutch for the Dutch and they don’t really like the place being packed with tourists so I think they do everything they can to put us off. Maybe get trash cali bits on purpose and try push the local grown stuff more. At least that’s my perspective on grey area. Maybe the £25 dutch bit was better than the cali they had or something. At the same time though I have had dud bud there before. The Jackie white (I think they used to grow themselves or some shit since they were the only ones that had it) was absolutely insane back in the day

There is a barneys farm coffeeshop for example, that sells their own strains like tangerine dream, which is great stuff but you just never want to get back there, they dont care at all about their customers because they got so many tourists coming all day long, they dont ahve to be friendly or have space to sit.
